An Update to Break the Silence:

My apologies for the delay, and I assure you we’ve got some exciting things coming up once we get back in to full-swing! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of family, vacations, home renovations, and shopping for the 2 largest expenses of our lives. We’re house hunting and car shopping at the same time!

There have been studies showing that moving is among the top 5 stressors that a person will face in their lifetime. Remembering that K will going back on Mat-leave at the same time, I get heart palpitations every time I look at a budget. Working at a bank, this is very unnerving.

Nevertheless we persevere. We have an amazing realtor team who is finding us the best properties available, we have a great mortgage broker to work out the finer details of financing, and we have amazing parents to help any way they can.

The important thing at this point is to find opportunities to unwind and enjoy moments with the family, fortunately one of my favourite conventions is coming up in a couple of weeks – It’s time for the Baby Show at the Enercare Centre, September 23rd and 24th!

A growing event, the Baby Show features the latest in baby gear, ultrasound technology, and lactation consultants. If you’re expecting (congrats!) and trying to build your registry, if you’ve recently given birth and have a sudden change of heart over your dock-a-tot and need a new crib, they’ve got you covered.

The best part? We all want you to go – for free! Stephanie and Sandy have set aside 2 passes for our lucky readers to win (children under 12 get in free).
